Stockport Council
If you have a council tax or benefit enquiry, you’ll need to contact Stockport Council on one of the helpline numbers listed below.
Stockport Council
Town Hall
Edward Street
SK1 3XE
| Phone Number | |
| Housing benefit and council tax benefit | 0161 217 6015 |
| Council Tax | 0161 217 6014 |
| General enquiries | 0161 480 4949 |
If you’re experiencing financial difficulties, you must make sure you continue to manage your priority payments such as Council Tax, rent/mortgage and utilities, even if it means you cannot meet your monthly unsecured credit commitments.
That’s because the consequences of not managing your priority payments are much more severe. You should always contact your local council if you are struggling as you may be entitled to help paying your Council Tax.
